Trust in Singapore government's COVID-19 response high: study

Only 9% was let down by how the government dealt with the crisis.

Singaporeans’ confidence in the local government’s response to COVID-19 is high with only 9% saying they have been let down, according to data from global intelligence unit McCann Worldgroup Truth Central’s ongoing study on the pandemic.

Titled “Truth About Culture and COVID-19”, the study also found that Singapore’s figure has been the lowest out of 25 countries polled, compared against the 27% global average.

Respondents in Asia Pacific were positive the crisis would “inspire new innovations” especially in Singapore, with 58% agreeing—the highest figure worldwide.

On the other hand, 29% of Singaporean respondents raised concerns about people becoming more racist due to the pandemic, a figure higher than the 18% global average.

McCann Worldgroup’s study has been running since March 2020, with a reach of 18 markets across the world. It has been expanded to include 7 APAC markets, including Singapore recently.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
